Back in the 90s THIS is how I painted ALL of my Gundam Models; including all 5 from the Heavy Waltz series. I ALWAYS wondered why all the pro channels I’ve seen always cut the pieces out first?!?!

Then it’s just sanding and painting the little nubs after everything is dried .

This is pretty common in the rest of the modeling world, especially Gundam. However, you don't do the entire painting on the sprue, you only do your primer and then base coats. Then you assemble, clean up any spurs and touch-ups, then do your top coat and detailing. This is more important on mecha and other large models because they have a lot of recessed spaces, like up a gundams girdle, and between the joints easily gets missed when painting since alot of the models are poseable, you'd have to rotate the joints to get the entirety of paint into them, which is a hassle if you are spray painting. Painting solid models and miniatures on a sprue isn't necessary because they aren't poseable.

if you cant paínt eyes then try the "darkest dungeon" style just paint them black like they are laying deep in shadows :)

No. Then you have to clean, and paint the places where the sprue was attached? Display, yes. Very cool.

looks good. never saw the point of painting on the sprue if your going to put them together, it works really well as a display piece though 👍🏻

Just do a highlight pass on any nubbins and flash. It's honestly faster for batch painting and looks sharper cause you've got five torses right there anyway.

This is how I painted my skeleton arms for death. All the sheilds, weapons arms and bone arms. They were just too small and fidely. And since I had like 3 sets I was doing it helped me do them in batches. I did paint a lot of parts I didnt use, but it was still faster than doing the tradtional way.

This has just given me so much inspiration for using my new speedpaint set, as well as for painting on the sprue :-D I LOVE the detailed base you get with this mini. I'll definitely be checking the supplier out now, as this mini has got me yearning to start yet another Space Marine homebrew chapter, to go with all the Kill Team squads I've done for others :-)

Some people in thise comments, i think it was a cool idea :) nice one.

​​​@@MiniatureHobbyist Take ownership for your clickbait. It's not people being young, it's you using dishonest means to promote your content. This is straightforwardly a terrible way to paint miniatures in the conventional sense of having a finished model. It's something that people who are new or not confident in their skills do, and is an extreme form of excessive subassemblies. The end result is disappointing, because the finished model is covered in mould lines, patchy layers from sprue joins and plastic glue, and fails as a cohesive piece. Suggesting that people should make their models this way, even for the purpose of catching views, is a recipe for burning people on miniature painting. It feels bad to put a load of work into a model and have it just look terrible at the end of the process. Preparation and assembly are important parts of the model painting process. Neglecting them delivers subpar results, even for the greatest painter. People should not be encouraged to waste both time and money on a method that is fundamentally terrible. All that will do is make newer and less skilled modellers and painters give up in frustration.

Quite nice. A few of these would look great on the wall.

I take mine off the sprue, clean them up, then assemble and paint. No problems with the right brushes.

i used to do this on my gundam models. Base coat everything on the sprue then build it and touch everything up. I did this on my first few GW models.

This is a very fun idea for a little art piece. I definitely want to try this out at some point.

Looks good! This video finally made me pull the trigger on the 2.0 set. Definitely excited to try them out.

This is how I painted my entire Games Workshop 10mm Battle of Five Armies set

Great paint job but i don't really get having it on the sprue he would look so much cooler put together

You know why I love these videos, because it sounds like someone overlaying an audio track that's taking the piss, which this isn't, it's just how it sounds. Don't know how you do it but I love it.

I really didn't think the queues were that bad, my queue experience has been way worse at other things in the past lol

re : painting eyed. You can get nail art kits that often have pen-like application. Worth a look?

Very nice work. I always enjoy your videos, please keep them coming

Not sure I'll ever understand this style but it's cool

If the God Emperor didn't want his soldiers on the sprue, he wouldn't have put them on a sprue to begin with. I hereby deem hobby snips heresy!

As long as you can get rid of the mold lines, I'd say this method is best!

Painting on the sprue is really good. It makes painting the usual hard-to-reach areas of a model really easy e.g. behind cloaks, the backs of bolters etc. I'm currently building some Tyranid warriors this way which is much better. I dry-fitted the first one to see how I was going to pose it, but painting it was a mess. Painting the others on the sprue is more effective. I can undercoat with a rattle-can evenly more easily when they're on the sprue

If i really wanted to do this i would remove and then magnetise the parts back onto the sprue. Best of both worlds

I like this method and do it all the time, but I try to find the least visible sprue connection for each piece, then clip all other points first, clean mold lines etc, leaving just the one spot where the part is still attached to the sprue. This way, when you're done painting, there's only one spot to clip and clean.

I like the idea of this style

I definitely wanna try to make a cool in sprue display like this now

Never paint on sprue unless you want mould lines and chunks missing on points where the spru attatches

This is heresy on the highest level

I’ve never painted any miniatures on the spruce before. Nice video Jon

that is so badass!!!!!!

That's amazing! Is the file for the display box up anywhere? I'd love to print one for myself

I guess the final segment answers my question about "How do you do clean up the model after removing from the sprue.................?"

the only reccomendation i would give you for the airbrush is that using white ink through it to do a zenithal is super difficult as a begginner as the white is so speckly and difficult to use. for speeding up your slapchopping i would reccomend priming black and then zenithaling like a warm light grey (stonewall grey, grey seer) and then dry brushing white other them. also try contrast paints through them :)

Really decent tabletop paintjob👍

What's funny is that this is how I used to paint my miniatures when I was a kid. Painted them all on the sprues fully, cut them off and just glued them together, touched up the little areas left over.

This is exactly what I did with my Hero’s box last month. Displayed it with the some art and the card 👌🏻

Well been painting some Wood Elves with capes and I can see where painting the majority of the miniature while it is on a sprue can make for getting those capes and the rest of the body a lot easier. Though since I got these miniatures second hand that was not an option. Though if I was going to paint on the sprue I would clip some to the miniature so that there is enough to hold it is place. I do remember that the fast army that I ever painted was my Eldar for 40K Epic. Just take the Guardians out and spray them black while still on the sprue turn it around and spray the other side. Clip them off and paint their helmets.

Poor Brother is never going to see the glory of Combat.

Cool idea!

Airbrushing is easy enough but get used to stripping it down and cleaning it frequently or it will just clog up, but it's great to use just a little learning curve to get how much pressure to put on the trigger I found. Fantastic for priming as it keeps the detail!

Almost 70k subs! Congrats my man, well earned 😉👍

Questions end with at least a singular question mark and also, yes, this is the way.

It's cool for what you did, but I would go insane trying to do this on models I was going to actually assemble.

Very cool! Where did you get the 3d print file for the box?

It look very nice

Bro people who paint on the sprue are wizards

Its really good!! Its perfect gift 🎉

Pretty cool. I do a lot of on sprue painting, but I would have glued the front torso on first. Some GW models have such tight tolerances that a coat of paint will mess them up.

BRO, I'm going to try your method for priming. I've been using a zenithal prime with rattle cans and I keep winding up with a splotchy look on the white. Your dry brushing there is genius. I haven't seen anyone else really do that. Love the channel, love the vids. Can't wait to see the airbrush!

Im curious: I got the exact same set of makeup brushes from Amazon, which one are you using for drybrushing minis of that size? Basically there are 2 different round makeup brushes in the set, a smaller and a big one.. which one do you use?

War Hammer or 1/32 figure eyes can be done by using a .05 Pigma Micron or Stadtler pigment liner.

@@jc7997aj that's true, I think he's talking about these being pre thinned enough where these act more like inks though.

I have always painted my base colors on my plastic sprues. It is quicker and I can be neater. It is easier to reach areas that are fiddly after building the model.

Well, I'm not convinced due to sprue connections that are in places that should be painted. For example in 07:08 there are 2 connections with armour. After clipping it out those places are unpainted :(

looks very nice, is the stl for the box available?

Is there a link to the 3D print display box? I’d love to start doing this for some fun display / gift ideas

I probably would have painted the sprue grey, like the gw sprue color, for the unpainted look. Great video, fun idea

I just begun my journey with oil paints on miniatures, not washes, full James Wappel. Would be neat to see you use some oil paints, I truly believe you will like them. They are a great tool. Thanks for putting this video out, I really enjoyed your shadowbox here. Cheers.

Just need some glass glued on the front and it’ll really pop!

I love these models I've got about 6 so far but there all kit bashed to deathwatch and none looks like the original

What a cool idea! I've actually got one of these blind box Space Marine figures lying around somewhere. I might give this a go.

Would that white acrylic drybrush reactivate later ?

I loved this video and it made me go “I’d like to try this for a little display in my office” do you have a link to the box you printed? I’d have totally bid on the piece but I’m late to the party sadly

Love this ! I saw another video like this on KZread awhile back and now seeing you do it really makes me want to try ! The single space marine you picked up is the perfect candidate for a display peice like this ! And the idea to use a Warhammer box as a backdrop was a really good extra touch ! Amazing job ! Now I want to see you do a whole squad painted up on a sprew 😂

This would be a great thing for weapon racks, vehicles that you want to show an exploded engine view, miniatures themself...hmm what if you made a laboratory and did that to a tyranid or zombie type models?

Hey my man, love the video.

I'd like to see you paint the other side and put him together in a display case. Looks to good to leave on the sprue.

This idea Falls flat on its face as soon as you cut the parts off the sprue to put the model together. But as a display piece -- Cool.

One thing you unfortunately forgot about was the removal process from the sprue. Yeah, a good bit of that paint you put on is getting sheared off with clippers or a knife, potentially right down to the bare plastic.

You can always paint the "Carcharodons" Chapter for the Space Marines. They all have super pale skin and solid black eyes.

You say you are about to start air brushing. Look up Flory Models, he paints vehicles not miniatures, but his skills are so much better than anything you see miniature painters do with an air brush

why is it called a sprue with warhammer but a runner with gundam even tho its the same thing

I don't know.... I really liked your Sprue Goo videos and was hoping you would do more...sad to here your not going to do them anymore.

yeah certain special models come on coloured plastics now, Mainly things like Warhammer Underworlds stuff and special sets like these Space Marine Heros (which is what these "blind box" minis are actually called) also some boxed sets have coloured plastics. mostly though they are still grey.

Only those on the dark side of the force paint their miniatures inside the sprue

A really small 2 bed flat ,i must paint flat on the sprue lol, great vid again cheers.

Sweet video Today

Will use sprue for anything, but you use ear buds to extend the sprue? 😂

I think most of collector know about this but put so much effeort just to file andcoat again In the end......

No solvent glue this way, have to be very careful with superglue assembling as to not get any glue on painted areas. Also, trimming and mold line removal are now impossible with the placement of some of the gates. Not a fan of this method. Don't really see how it can produce a decent mini.

Очень круто сделано!

This is how I used to paint and frankly, it’s dumb. Glad I stopped priming and painting on the sprue.

I'm not buying any firstborn again. Unless I have sone tortuga bay True Scales body to make them decent looking

Hmmmm...yes. I thought everybody did this?

Dont know what is the point if you are not going to cut and assemble them. leave the mold lines too?

This was ok, but i liked the squidmar, i made Warhammer cards into dioramas video from last week better. You should give that a go, your already half way there .
